Almost six months after a deadly attack at a school in Malmö, Sweden, the 18-year-old accused of double murder has been sentenced to life imprisonment. He also has to pay damages to the survivors: a total of around one million Swedish crowns (around 93,000 euros), as the competent court in Sweden’s third largest city announced.
The young man has confessed to having carried out the attack on March 21 with an ax, among other things. On the third floor of the high school, the police discovered two seriously injured teachers and the 18-year-old student. He was arrested minutes after the crime, after reporting the crime himself via 911. Both women later succumbed to their injuries.
